I have a friend who's dad do pay for cooked beans from Ghana high restraunt Lagos and they will fly it to Abuja or Delta state.

On Fridays we will buy the beans, take it to airport for it to be delivered to him.
Some Nigerians are sick, when I raised this issue yesterday someone told me of a popular person who gets his bread from London.

I'm disappointed with Nigerians reaction to that too ..coz you havent done it , or happen to not be around folks that do it doesnt mean it's a lie . You guys should leave your computer desks . Go to the seaports and see what Nigerians are importing. You'd see how sick the middle class and the upper class are . They wanna live the foreign life in local way .peace ✌

For those of you who may be ignorant of the facts, Audu Ogbeh remains one of the most effective Buhari's minister. Looks at his background educationally, look at his success in ministry of Agriculture, even his interview on the senate floor when he was being cleared as a minister.Today, Nigeria's total food production has increased. Audu Ogbeh spoke with facts and figures to back up his points, as he did during that senate clearance. His performance was sterling. Now to the Pizza issue, do you know how pizza is made?, From flour mainly and vegetables or marine species! Now those are agricultural produce. He was saying we are not growing enough corn,vegetables etc, so that there seems to be a lack of enough agricultural produce, some Nigerians even import pizza with their phones from London. This one is true. It clearly shows the minister is connected to reality. He knows what's going on. Some people will take a statement from someone and read out of context. You can draw an example from mundane things to drive home your points. Its a literary skill. If you know you know. Some of the boys criticising him here do not have basic WAEC! They English the write is terrible, the grammer nauseating, yet they are the first to fire a shot. #lazynigerianyouth

Guy, most of what Audi Ogbeh is flaunting in the agricultural sector, were NOT initiated by him or even executed under his watch. Adewunmi Adesina the former Agriculture Minister did most, or all of those things.

Audu Ogbeh goofed with his reference to importing pizza over the phone, from London. If you know anything about international logistics especially with regards to cooked food, you will know that it is far easier to fly in a chef to make the pizza in Nigeria, than to airfreight it from a restaurant in London to Nigeria.

RichBoy247:


Your parents that are nor dullards, bring them out, let us all compare them with Audu Ogbeh. Go through British Airways tweet, the airways did not deny delivering Pizza to Nigeria.

You minding the indomie kids. In the 80s, some Nigerian imports bottled waters, even sand to build houses. Yes this is a fact. Go and research that .

God bless you my brother. I don't know why some people choose to be so myopic about this whole thing. Nigerians are very eccentric people when they have the resources. Instead of reasoning with the man they decide to call the man all sorts of names, like they don't have a father at home. Is it so far fetched to buy pizza and put it on the first plane out of London? I'm sure that would not be the craziest thing a Nigerian would have done.

during 8yrs of pdp in Benin, a wife of a local govt chairman in Benin use to boast how she use to travel out to purchase common spices cube, Benin that does not even have money to spend or waste on frivolous things like that.

Didn't it occur to you that she could be lying? Or maybe she bought the spices during her trip, and stuffed it into her hand luggage when coming back?

meaning few corrupt Nigerians do that just for pride.

olisaEze:


Oga u know how to understand well well! Did d Minister use the word ‘some’ or just ‘Nigerians’? U sounded like u were trying to justify his inability to defend his ministry’s budget with an anecdote about a friend’s father! What does pizza have to do with his ministry’s budget, is it a cash crop!?

You are highly ignorant here please.

JeromeBlack:

In wat century can it be true.. u will use a 6 hour flight to deliver pizza that's is best served fresh from oven.. can it be dumber than this

You may like your pizza fresh others might not. I prefer mine stone cold.

How is Audu Ogbeh one of buharis most effective ministers? Which success in d agriculture ministry are u referring to? How has Nigeria's food production increased? If it did, how do u attribute it to him?


On d one hand u are saying this

Wasnt born in the 80's but I can tell you this is about their exposure . The minister just exposed a very vital bad habits of Nigerians. Most Nigerians rich class are all egomaniac .They wanna tell their visitors " That dishwasher is from Germany " , " I bought this from Scotland too " Importation is ruining our country . We only exporting out the job ..some of ya'll clamour for unemployments . Yet to ignore and abuse the indicators . ��

There is a flight almost every hour from Lagos to Abuja, on different airlines. It does not cost much to cargo a bowl of cooked beans from Lagos to Abuja.

The flight is not more than 45 minutes to 1 hour at most. And how much does it cost to convey a kilo of cargo by air, within Nigeria? What is the weight of one bowl of beans?

But sending pizza from London to Lagos, is a far fetched rumour. People like to spread hype and rumour. How would such food escape the eagle eyes of the food quarantine people in the UK? Right at their airport?

How would you send pizza on a 6-8 hour flight, from London to Lagos and expect it still to be fresh, especially considering the cheese and other stuff used in it? Anyone who offers such things to you, is doing you a diservice. Pizza is best served hot.

Yes, there are coolers you can put it in, and cooler bags that can be used, but at the end of the day, the pizza would have lost its freshness. And by the time inspection agents pass it through their processes, before declaring that it can be transported, you can imagine the condition of that pizza. Is it worth the hassle?

You've got a point. But the people that I believe are indulged in such acts, do not care about money. The act in itself is penny wise and pound foolish. I mean why order a pizza for only God knows how much and still pay a hefty price for the transportation, when you can get it for less than 5k. Dominoes Pizza is not that bad na Baba. But then again they do not care about the monetary implication.

As to food quarantine customs bla bla. This is Nigeria. If you know your way and have the means. You can basically get away with anything. That has been proven to us times without number.

As to the condition of the pizza, leave that to the preference of the person who ordered it. I like that you mentioned a cooler can be used. I'll also like to point out that a fridge can also be used. If the person likes it fresh or not that's his business, if he liked fresh pizza he won't have been ordering it from a country a time zone away. And he can always warm it by the time he receives his not so fresh pizza.

The point remains that ordering pizza from U.K to Nigeria is very possible, and I believe some money miss roads might be involved in the act.

To buttress my point I'll add a personal experience. Back when I was still in Junior school, when pizza was not yet a big deal in Nigeria. A family friend returning from the U.S bought pizza before boarding their flight, they did not finish it, so they kept it. By the time they got to Nigeria and we had gone to visit them. They brought out the box of pizza warmed it and we enjoyed it.

So tell me once again why some overly eccentric person cannot order a box of pizza and have it delivered to him in Nigeria. Shebi na him get him money.

Audu ogbeh has always been a stupid old man
1)Imports grasses from Brazil
2)Cattle colony for Fulani herdsmen despite the killings in agatu Benue state and other parts of Nigeria
3)He was running his mouth that a bag of local rice will be 6k whereas its 15k
How I wish pmb will just sack him cause he is too daft

we know she was boasting, that also tells you how corrupt we are, that IF we have opportunity, we will be so crazy,
that is why alot of Nigerians want to make crazy money that will make them do crazy things,
for now, Yahoo boys do more than importing pizzas. so the minister was right.

Pls what is d "something called refrigeration"?. Is it used 2 preserve pizza?

GlorifiedTunde:
I don't get all the comments above, has BA denied the allegation?

I think it's high time we stopped being petty over issues.

I wouldn't be surprised if what this minister said is true, and that really causes for concern.

It is the truth.

People order stew from China

Oga, please go back and read my post with understanding before making a comment. I was referring to the food quarantine and inspection officers at the UK airports, not in Nigeria. Everything edible is inspected before it is allowed to fly.

Your friend buying pizza abroad and carrying it in their hand luggage to eat in Lagos, is NOT the same as placing an order for unaccompanied pizza from a restaurant and flying it into Nigeria.

Please do your checks, talk to those involved in international logistics and don't believe everything you hear or read. Audu Ogbeh talked about ordering pizza over the phone from London, and getting it delivered in Naija. Haba!

You did not specify which inspection officers you were referring to. I know be spirit how I go know.

And why do you presume the pizza has to be unaccompanied. Whoever paid for the order can also have a random Joe accompany his box of Pizza. Even if it means he has to pay a little more.

There's no flawless agency in the world, British or Nigerian. Once you know the inner workings of the system you can bend it how you like.

Despite what you believe it is still very do able for the people that have the means. Everyone is claiming the Minister is saying nonsense. My reason for defending him is, how do you know it's not true? You don't know everything that goes on in the country, someone from a vantage point now says something, but because it sounds improbable you begin to call him all sorts of names. Not nice

No need to get angry. Shalom brother.
